Problems from Today

If you haven’t already heard, there were problems today and the Band did not get to go to their Weber Review.  There were issues with communication and scheduling of the buses that could not be resolved at this late date, so we were left without transportation to get the Band there.  Instead of going to the Review, our Band held a practice for a couple of hours and then the Boosters fed them the dinner that we had intended to feed them at the Review.  EVERYONE is upset about what happened today, but everyone worked past their anger and frustration and made the best of a bad situation.  I, for one, am very proud of our students and their commitment and positive attitudes.  Please know that, behind the scenes, we are assessing the problems of the day and working to correct them so they do not happen to us again. 

Having said that, it would not be inadvisable to us, as parents, to contact the school district and talk about our concerns of the lack of adequate resources.  I do not wish to load the district down with complaints, but I feel it is sometimes necessary to put voices to our concerns as parents.  If you do this, please do it without anger.   We do not wish to start pointing fingers.  We only wish to bring our issues to the attention of those with the power to change things.  With that in mind, you might be interested to know that there is a Board of Education meeting next week on Tuesday, September 24, (it doesn’t show a time on the website, will have to call and check) at the Jordan School District Auxiliary Services Building, 7905 South Redwood Road. 

Going forward, we’d like for everyone to be on the positive side and help us go into the next Band events with a good attitude and hard work.  Thank you to everyone who helped today!  Your support is always appreciated!
